Well yeah, you're bang on. I don't want Diablo 4, I want PoE 2, but that isn't out yet - so I'm playing Diablo 4. I'm actually enjoying it so far but if this is the path ARPGs are going, my love for the genre will die. I don't want complex rotations, open world bullshit, raid bosses, or 50,000 different crafting mats in an ARPG. I want a movement skill and one-click screen clearing.
I get the feeling the game will move more in my direction as we get into later seasons.
